3. Frosting: In a mixer fitted with the paddle, on low-medium speed, beat together all the frosting ingredients until very smooth. Using your fingers, frost each cookie then place on waxed paper to completely dry. completely dry. As with Wendy and my grandson Tyler, this cookie is fun to make
with your children and grandchildren because they get to lick their fingers when finished frosting
the cookies!
